Frequently asked questions
What is the main difference between these two guitars?
The C-1 Standard Plus LH is configured for left-handed players, while the standard C-1 Standard Plus is right-handed. Both share the same thin C-profile neck, 25.5-inch scale, 24 jumbo frets, and Schecter Richter-6 humbucker pickups.
Are the tonewoods and electronics identical?
Both feature mahogany bodies with figured/flamed maple tops and dual Schecter Richter-6 humbuckers with Diamond Hardtail bridges. The main tonal difference is fingerboard material—the standard uses ebony while the LH uses roasted maple—which produces a subtly different feel and slight tonal character.
Which model is better for a beginner?
The C-1 Standard Plus LH explicitly suits beginners through advanced players and includes a graphite nut and 2-way truss rod for easier setup and maintenance. The standard C-1 Standard Plus targets intermediate to professional players.
How do the finishes differ in maintenance?
The Ember Burst features a satin finish (low-maintenance, no frequent polishing needed), while the Blue Fade also uses a satin finish with black binding, so maintenance demands are equivalent between the two models.
